  1. In a Vegas hotel preparing for my peer group meeting, I'm looking forward to the clarity and insight I always get when we think together.
  2. Read a review of "Reading in the Brain" by @jonahlehrer. Did a quick first read myself. How else can I re-purpose my Stone Age brain? Ideas?
  3. RT @jonahlehrer: My review of "Reading in the Brain": http://scienceblogs.com/cor...
  4. Pondering the fact that Welsh speakers can hold fewer numbers in working memory than English speakers. Is silent memorization auditory?
  5. NaNoWriMo (http://bit.ly/2ni4cv) starts today! @lskyrms is off writing feverishly. Fertile imaginations and many many words to all WriMos.
  6. I hate to have pictures taken but I had a great time with @annemariepierce. Great photos and lots of fun. Check her out http://bit.ly/4798A5
  7. So pumped from the meeting this morning that I ran 7.5 miles last hour. That's pretty good for an old guy. Thinking together creates energy!
  8. Just had a great Top Executive meeting. Strong companies facing tough issues brings out the best in each of us. Thinking together does work!
  9. Preparing for a Top Executive meeting tomorrow. Excited, but I need to get some sleep.
  10. Being right is not the only quality that gives value to an idea. It might be insightful, provocative, iconoclastic, illuminating.
  11. Working with my Peer Group on my biggest challenge in many years provided real clarity and confidence. Thinking together works! Thanks team.
  12. Reading William Isaac's Dialogue. It's stunning how hard we can work to thwart our natural tendency to think together. What's that about?
  13. We learn from success, not failure, and success increases chances for more success, says a study from MIT http://bit.ly/e0UTr.
  14. Reading Bob Garfield's Chaos Scenario. Concise look at the future of our economic model. Need to discuss how to respond. Anyone interested?
  15. 100+ hours of hard physical labor last week: pondering why my brain seems to work differently when I'm working with my hands. And aching.
  16. Hyperspecialization successfully generates new knowledge while making us all more ignorant. See Chris Mooney's Unscientific America.
  17. We seem determined to make complex things simple and simple things complex. Because it makes the stories we tell ourselves more interesting?
  18. Reading about how badly we assess risk. Bad quantitative education & brains designed for ancient threats put too many businesses in danger.
  19. Contact with other people stimulates oxytocin production, reducing anxiety & risky behavior and increasing trust. Thinking together works.
  20. If it's lonely at the top it can hurt the bottom line: loneliness damages executive function and leads to loss of focus and bad decisions.
